Good evening children! It has been a while since I made a new post, and so I thought - in the theme of the thread - I would bless all my fellow subjects with such a presence!

Obviously, I don't really think like that, but I am what modern society may call a slight Egotist. Now that's out in the open, does anyone believe its wrong, and who believes its right?

I'm from England, and addicted to the 1700-1800's. Through those various eras - or the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the English, stoked with the fires of the control of most of the western hemisphere, fluid trade, slavery and a society which practically promoted the egotistical, self-richous view upon the world, were - well - egotists. The were all so fake around other people - usually for their own benefit - and were polite only to those they believed were worthy of their effort.

Now that's out of the way - here's the question. Is a healthy ego a bad thing? And if not, when does a over-healthy ego become a bad thing?
